Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg was given a “final warning” by police to move to a designated protest area during a demonstration in central London last year before she was arrested for staying put, a court has heard.

The 21-year-old, from Sweden, was arrested during the demonstration near the InterContinental Hotel in Mayfair on October 17 as oil executives met inside for the Energy Intelligence Forum.
